Kingwood Texas Moisture Control Services

A moisture build-up inside your home or business is always cause for concern.
Water is the single-most long-term destructive force in the indoor environment,
which includes any moisture issue, large or small. Moisture may develop
gradually, or occur suddenly, and needs to be mitigated as soon as it’s
discovered. Moisture will quickly destroy your home and lead to costly
repairs. AdvantacClean of Kingwood offers moisture control appointments
to solve any moisture issue your home may encounter. Whether you have
crawl space moisture, basement moisture, or attic moisture, AdvantaClean
is trained and prepared to tackle the situation and develop a strategy
to mitigate the moisture. Unfortunately, you may also develop a mold problem
before you notice the moisture issue. Mold needs moisture and doesn’t
require sunlight, so mold growth can happen anywhere and become detrimental
to your home in a short matter of time. AdvantaClean of Kingwood employs
Certified Mold Inspectors and Certified Mold Remediators who will resolve
both your moisture issue and mold growth.

THE CONCERN OVER CRAWLSPACE MOISTURE

A crawl space is an area between the bottom floor and ground in homes that
were not built on a slab foundation. Crawl space moisture often goes unnoticed
as they are typically rarely entered by the homeowner. Crawl spaces are
magnets for moisture which quickly leads to mold growth, and you may not
know you have crawlspace moisture until the damage it causes becomes apparent
and severe. Red flags for crawl space moisture include:

Hardwood floors “cupping”

Mold growth

A musty or moldy odor wafting upward into the living space

Damp and Saggy insulation

Crawlspace moisture has various causes, all of which need to be discovered
and resolved. Some crawl space conditions to keep an eye on include leaking
HVAC systems or ducts, rainwater seeping in during a storm, and sometimes
animal occupancy of the crawl space. These conditions become increasingly
common and detrimental if you have an exposed dirt floor, or your vapor
barrier is torn and tattered from age.

AdvantaClean of Kingwood offers a plethora of options to mitigate crawlspace
moisture, including:

Installation of a vapor barrier

Crawl space encapsulation

Installation of dehumidifiers

Installation of a sump pump

BASEMENT MOISTURE & PROPER VENTILATION

Basement moisture is a terrible moisture issue to tackle yourself, as they
are mostly unfinished and underground. At AdvantaClean of Kingwood, we
are highly trained at the first step of moisture control-finding the source.

Basement moisture builds-up for assorted reasons, including:

Rainwater seeping in during a storm

Insufficient air circulation or air conditioning

Inadequate landscaping to divert groundwater

AdvantaClean offers solutions to your basement moisture such as:

Basement waterproofing

Installation of a sump pump

Installation of a dehumidifier

WILL ATTIC MOISTURE AFFECT THE HEALTH OF MY HOME?

Attics are often used as convenient storage spaces and little else, meaning
they are unnoticed moisture hangouts. Most people don't bother to or don't
know they need to give their attics proper cleaning and maintenance. If
it's been awhile since you've looked around your attic, now may be a good
time to take a peek. Attic moisture grows attic mold that can wreak havoc
on your home and create costly repairs.

Sources of attic moisture include:

Improper or lack of proper ventilation

Bathroom fans or kitchen fans venting into the attic space

Leaking HVAC systems or vents

Roof leaks

Lack of proper attic insulation
